Hard Disks Are Difficult to Install in Intel® Server System SR2500AL and Intel® Server Chassis SR2500 Problem Customers may find it difficult to properly and fully install the hard drives into the hard drive slots. This is because the backplane is about 0.5-1.5 mm vertically higher than the specification. Status This erratum has been fixed. Workaround Check to ensure the bottom of the backplane touches the chassis base. If there is an obvious gap, check the two bending features (shown below) and make sure the bending angle is no more than 90 degrees. If necessary, use flat-nose pliers to bend these two features down to lower the backplane. Contact your local Intel Customer Service for more information. 29
